Concerns Surrounding Malik Nabers' ACL Surgery and Recovery
A unusual situation has arisen regarding New York Giants WR Malik Nabers' torn ACL, as he has yet to undergo surgery for the injury.
According to ESPN's Jordan Raanan, the surgery has not occurred as of October, with Raanan stating:
Usually it's to allow swelling to decrease and to build up strength around the knee. Not that unusual.
Although there may be medical reasons for the delay, it is notable that NFL players typically have ACL surgeries within days of the injury, making Nabers' case, where it has been almost a month, seem somewhat bizarre.
Possible reasons for the delay include allowing swelling to subside or employing alternative rehab techniques to approach the surgery differently.
